Mail merging

So tonight's success is not incredibly interesting to write about, however I'm tremendously excited.

I discovered how to use the addresses we had put into Excel to automatically format into address labels via mail merge. This means (((drum roll))) we do not have to hand-write every address! Or re-type them all out into a word document to print out onto labels! We can keep them all nicely organize in excel, and print them out as needed! Any other librarians/information managers out there as excited as I am?! (yah, I thought not :o) )

This will also be helpful for the years to come, when we need to send out lots of mail to lots of family, whenever that time may be. So now all that is left is to order the thank-you cards, write them out, and the addresses will be on their way! (I do need to remember to print our return address labels as well...)

And that is the small success of the evening, in addition to the meal I was able to make (bratwurst, sweet potato fries, and soup), without burning or undercooking anything. Good, good evening.
